Settings States of Reusable Group within a Repeating Group

Need help
1

I am updating an application I made a long time ago for the company I work for. We are a sub contractor who bid for work (I only put this for understanding). The issue I am running into is, I am using reusable elements this go around trying to optimize the application and reuse as much as I can unlike in the old application.

I have a section called projects in a reusable element due to the fact that I have custom dropdowns setup to trigger when an the value of the dropdown is changed. I have this reusable group on multiple areas of my website within repeating groups but not all the information is needed to be seen on certain area of the application. For instance in the section where all of our projects are, I want to show all the information but in the section where the projects that we have been awarded are, I don’t want to show items like the status of the bid or bid date. I want that information that is needed without having to utilize multiple reusable groups.

I’ve tried setting up states within the reusable group but it isn’t accessible once it’s in a repeatable group. Is there a work around to this?

You can always use the Reusable Element’s properties to pass a value and configure the RE behaviour based on it, e.g. hiding/showing certain info.

This is what I have on my reusable group but when I try to get information from my repeatable I dont have access to the reusable group states. I setup me state name as page.

No need to use custom states. Again, just define a property in your Reusable Element (RE), set the value when you place the RE in the Repeating Group (RG), and use the value to hide elements you don’t need.
